if you are going for less than a certain length of time (a month i think) and as a visitor you dont need a visitor. check the rules on the US embassy website www.usembassy.org.uk/

Mine start on the 24th March..but got a two day week next week which is cool :wink:

I think that you only need a Visa if your staying for over a certain period of time, but I would clarify this.

Most people should have 2 weeks off (1 week for easter and 1 week for half term).

My holidays are messed up this year; they've changed it so that we still get 2 weeks off, but not actually at Easter :confused:

We get Good Friday and Easter Monday off because they're Bank Holidays, but we don't actually have our 2-week holiday until the 11th-22nd April.

Lots of people have holidays all over the place. I think they should standardised the half term and public holidays, so we have them at the same time.

That would make much more sense!

The public holidays (i.e. easter) is the same, but the half terms are different. In the first place, how come different places have different half term dates?

Different authorities run under different schemes.
I know that the Bristol and Plymouth areas are often a week out of each other. Recently some places changed to a 6 term year as well which would change things. Not sure if everywhere took the same system on or not.
I think sixth forms attached to schools and individual sixth form schools/colleges would differ as well.
